Being gay in China is still a massive taboo. In fact, only 3% of gay men and 6% of gay women describe themselves as "completely out", and an estimated 70% of gay Chinese have entered into heterosexual marriages.

Why do so few lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in China come out? Official policy regarding LGBT rights is softening in China. Homosexuality has been legal in mainland China since 1997. It was dropped from a list of mental disorders in 2001, and in 2013 censors permitted websites and newspapers to discuss LGBT issues.
Legal rights may be changing but governmental fears and prejudices linger on. Whilst gay pride festivals are permitted, participants are not allowed to parade or march. China's government fear the LGBT community's ability to organise itself and mobilize people for a cause across several cities at once. Social prejudices also still remain; half of those who come out to relatives are rejected by them.
Pressure to marry in China is high. An estimated 70% of gay Chinese have entered into a heterosexual marriage. But attitudes just across the Taiwan Straight are very different. Although neighbouring Taiwan is culturally Chinese it is more tolerant of homosexuality. In May 2017, Taiwan's supreme court made it the first Asian country to allow gay marriage.
No change in Chinese government policy is expected soon but gay people in China hope Taiwan's decision could undermine homophobia that lingers in Chinese society.

Born as a boy, Pastor Gavino 'Vins' Santiago had sexual reassignment to be transgender woman here in the 80's. He even got married to a British national and thought he was living the life he's always dreamed of.
But his relationship with his partner was far from perfect. He said 'meeting' God influenced him to accept her natural gender.
Now, he is a pastor of Bagong Ilog Christian Fellowship and has to chosen to live life as a man.
Though a strong supporter of LGBT rights, he believes marriage should only be for a boy and a girl since same-sex marriage is not in the Bible.
On the other hand, some are saying it’s about time that same-sex union is recognized here in the Philippines.
One of them is Bemz Benedito, the current spokesperson of Ang Ladlad, a group pushing for LGBT rights in the country. Benedito says she has experienced several instances of gender inequality in the country and that it is high time that the Philippines embrace equality for all gender.
"We are after the recognition of the state and their rights and privileges as couples because right now we are not recognized by the state. We just want the same rights and privileges being enjoyed by heterosexual people. For example when we rush our partners to the emergency room, we cannot sign the waivers, because we are recognized," Benedito said.
"Even 'yung mga napundar namin nung aming mga matagal na partner, kapag nawala 'yung aming partner, hindi ito mapupunta sa amin, sa pamilya. Kahit di tanggap ng pamilya, automatic 'yun pupunta sa kanila. We have one case, a couple for 30 years, hindi tanggap ng pamilya, pero at the end of the day hindi napunta (sa partner)--kundi napunta sa pamilya na hindi tumanggap sa kanya," Benedito added.

Description:
Now that the Supreme Court has legalized same-sex marriage, the LGBT community and their supporters are celebrating the huge step forward the United States has taken. It has been a long time coming, and those in the LGBT community now have the right to walk down the aisle with the one they love. The ruling was celebrated nationwide, and many celebrities spoke out and gave their support to those in the LGBT community. Miley Cyrus was one of these very vocal supporters. She even has an equal sign tattooed on her ring finger in support of same-sex marriage.
But despite the many celebs who celebrated the ruling, there are a few who won’t be waving around a LGBT flag any time soon. Many of these celebrities’ opinions on gay rights stem from their deep religious viewpoints, while others come across as just being homophobic.
ActorKirk Cameron is one Hollywood celeb who basis his opinion on gay rights on the teachings of the bible. The born-again Christian has gone on the record to condemn gays, and he even thinks homosexuality is detrimental and destructive to civilization as we know it. Despite receiving backlash from LGBT advocate groups, Kirk stands by his opinion, and we doubt he will be changing his mind anytime soon.
Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao is another devout Christian who stands behind his religion and his thoughts on homosexuality. Manny didn’t care about being PC when he said homosexuals were “worse than animals.” Even after receiving backlash for his statements, Manny stood firm on his opinion. He apologized for his comments, but he still feels that homosexuality and same-sex marriage is something that is “against the law of God.”
Other celebrities can’t hide behind their religion when it comes to their disapproval of gays. SingerChris Brown, for example, seems to have a negative opinion on homosexuals that is deeply rooted in homophobia. The singer has used gay slurs on social media more times than we can count, and he was also accused of telling a male fan “I’’m not into this gay s—t,” before punching him in the face.
Despite this list of celebrities who don’t support gay rights, there are millions of other people in the world who are all for equal rights of everyone regardless of their sexual preference.

Should same-sex couples be permitted to marry? Are civil unions or domestic partnerships sufficient? What kind of effect does same-sex marriage have on heterosexual marriage? Do the children of same-sex couples face undue challenges because of their parents? These questions have all been raised in the ongoing debate about gay marriage. Prof. Dale Carpenter makes a compelling argument in favor of same-sex marriage from a philosophical, rights-based perspective while presenting data to answer these questions and others.

Human rights

Human rights are moral principles or norms, that describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights in municipal and international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being," and which are "inherent in all human beings" regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status. They are applicable everywhere and at every time in the sense of being universal, and they are egalitarian in the sense of being the same for everyone. They require empathy and the rule of law and impose an obligation on persons to respect the human rights of others. They should not be taken away except as a result of due process based on specific circumstances; for example, human rights may include freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, and execution.

No Gay Marriage Here: The Northern Ireland Story | BBC Newsbeat

DeclanHarvey investigates why Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK to not allow same-sex couples to marry. With the recent 'yes' vote in the Republic of Ireland in favour of gay marriage and many other countries across Europe changing their laws to allow it, why is Northern Ireland different? We meet young gay people who say they're embarrassed and frustrated at their country's lack of progress and hear the strongly held arguments against change from the governing Democratic Unionist Party.

LGBT rights supporters march in Taipei, call for anti-discrimination legislation

Thousands of gay rights supporters took part in the annual LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Pride Parade in Taiwan's capital on Saturday, calling for increased tolerance and the enactment of anti-discrimination legislation.
It was the 12th annual gay rights parade to be held in Taipei.
The parade's organisers wanted to use this year's event to call for more attention to minority members of the LGBT community, such as HIV patients and sex workers.
Organisers said participants were encouraged to embrace and kiss each other as a gesture of understanding and acceptance.
During the march, gay rights supporters called for legislation to wipe out gay discrimination in Asian cultures.

Why do so few of China's LGBT people come out? | The Economist

Being gay in China is still a massive taboo. In fact, only 3% of gay men and 6% of gay women describe themselves as "completely out", and an estimated 70% of gay Chinese have entered into heterosexual marriages.

Should same-sex couples be permitted to marry? Are civil unions or domestic partnerships sufficient? What kind of effect does same-sex marriage have on heterosexual marriage? Do the children of same-sex couples face undue challenges because of their parents? These questions have all been raised in the ongoing debate about gay marriage. Prof. Dale Carpenter makes a compelling argument in favor of same-sex marriage from a philosophical, rights-based perspective while presenting data to answer these questions and others.

Pressure to marry in China is high. An estimated 70% of gay Chinese have entered into a heterosexual marriage. But attitudes just across the Taiwan Straight are very different. Although neighbouring Taiwan is culturally Chinese it is more tolerant of homosexuality. In May 2017, Taiwan's supreme court made it the first Asian country to allow gay marriage.
No change in Chinese government policy is expected soon but gay people in China hope Taiwan's decision could undermine homophobia that lingers in Chinese society.

On the other hand, some are saying it’s about time that same-sex union is recognized here in the Philippines.
One of them is Bemz Benedito, the current spokesperson of Ang Ladlad, a group pushing for LGBT rights in the country. Benedito says she has experienced several instances of gender inequality in the country and that it is high time that the Philippines embrace equality for all gender.
"We are after the recognition of the state and their rights and privileges as couples because right now we are not recognized by the state. We just want the same rights and privileges being enjoyed by heterosexual people. For example when we rush our partners to the emergency room, we cannot sign the waivers, because we are recognized," Benedito said.
"Even 'yung mga napundar namin nung aming mga matagal na partner, kapag nawala 'yung aming partner, hindi ito mapupunta sa amin, sa pamilya. Kahit di tanggap ng pamilya, automatic 'yun pupunta sa kanila. We have one case, a couple for 30 years, hindi tanggap ng pamilya, pero at the end of the day hindi napunta (sa partner)--kundi napunta sa pamilya na hindi tumanggap sa kanya," Benedito added.

10 Famous Couples With The BIGGEST Age Gap https://youtu.be/3Fm7vp-b3WU
Description:
Now that the Supreme Court has legalized same-sex marriage, the LGBT community and their supporters are celebrating the huge step forward the United States has taken. It has been a long time coming, and those in the LGBT community now have the right to walk down the aisle with the one they love. The ruling was celebrated nationwide, and many celebrities spoke out and gave their support to those in the LGBT community. Miley Cyrus was one of these very vocal supporters. She even has an equal sign tattooed on her ring finger in support of same-sex marriage.
But despite the many celebs who celebrated the ruling, there are a few who won’t be waving around a LGBT flag any time soon. Many of these celebrities’ opinions on gay rights stem from their deep religious viewpoints, while others come across as just being homophobic.
ActorKirk Cameron is one Hollywood celeb who basis his opinion on gay rights on the teachings of the bible. The born-again Christian has gone on the record to condemn gays, and he even thinks homosexuality is detrimental and destructive to civilization as we know it. Despite receiving backlash from LGBT advocate groups, Kirk stands by his opinion, and we doubt he will be changing his mind anytime soon.
Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao is another devout Christian who stands behind his religion and his thoughts on homosexuality. Manny didn’t care about being PC when he said homosexuals were “worse than animals.” Even after receiving backlash for his statements, Manny stood firm on his opinion. He apologized for his comments, but he still feels that homosexuality and same-sex marriage is something that is “against the law of God.”
Other celebrities can’t hide behind their religion when it comes to their disapproval of gays. SingerChris Brown, for example, seems to have a negative opinion on homosexuals that is deeply rooted in homophobia. The singer has used gay slurs on social media more times than we can count, and he was also accused of telling a male fan “I’’m not into this gay s—t,” before punching him in the face.
Despite this list of celebrities who don’t support gay rights, there are millions of other people in the world who are all for equal rights of everyone regardless of their sexual preference.

Should same-sex couples be permitted to marry? Are civil unions or domestic partnerships sufficient? What kind of effect does same-sex marriage have on heterosexual marriage? Do the children of same-sex couples face undue challenges because of their parents? These questions have all been raised in the ongoing debate about gay marriage. Prof. Dale Carpenter makes a compelling argument in favor of same-sex marriage from a philosophical, rights-based perspective while presenting data to answer these questions and others.

Thousands of gay rights supporters took part in the annual LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) Pride Parade in Taiwan's capital on Saturday, calling for increased tolerance and the enactment of anti-discrimination legislation.
It was the 12th annual gay rights parade to be held in Taipei.
The parade's organisers wanted to use this year's event to call for more attention to minority members of the LGBT community, such as HIV patients and sex workers.
Organisers said participants were encouraged to embrace and kiss each other as a gesture of understanding and acceptance.
During the march, gay rights supporters called for legislation to wipe out gay discrimination in Asian cultures.

Former transgender woman: I am against gay marriage, but pro-LGBT rights

Born as a boy, Pastor Gavino 'Vins' Santiago had sexual reassignment to be transgender woman here in the 80's. He even got married to a British national and thought he was living the life he's always dreamed of.
But his relationship with his partner was far from perfect. He said 'meeting' God influenced him to accept her natural gender.
Now, he is a pastor of Bagong Ilog Christian Fellowship and has to chosen to live life as a man.
Though a strong supporter of LGBT rights, he believes marriage should only be for a boy and a girl since same-sex marriage is not in the Bible.
On the other hand, some are saying it’s about time that same-sex union is recognized here in the Philippines.
One of them is Bemz Benedito, the current spokesperson of Ang Ladlad, a group pushing for LGBT rights ...

The LGBT Agenda

The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Intersex community will come across as a movement that is pushing for equal rights, but the more rights they acquire with media and corporate backing, they now pose a threat to another community of people and the LGBTI are making sure that they target and indoctrinate children from very early into their ideology, so that opposition is fully weakened by the next generation.

Insight: Gay Marriage

What happens when your sexuality clashes with your cultural, religious or political beliefs? In a fiery and emotional debate, Insight picks apart the different struggles people are having with gay marriage. Insight: Tuesdays at 8:30pm on SBS Onehttp://www.sbs.com.au/insight

Born as a boy, Pastor Gavino 'Vins' Santiago had sexual reassignment to be transgender woman here in the 80's. He even got married to a British national and thought he was living the life he's always dreamed of.
But his relationship with his partner was far from perfect. He said 'meeting' God influenced him to accept her natural gender.
Now, he is a pastor of Bagong Ilog Christian Fellowship and has to chosen to live life as a man.
Though a strong supporter of LGBT rights, he believes marriage should only be for a boy and a girl since same-sex marriage is not in the Bible.
On the other hand, some are saying it’s about time that same-sex union is recognized here in the Philippines.
One of them is Bemz Benedito, the current spokesperson of Ang Ladlad, a group pushing for LGBT rights in the country. Benedito says she has experienced several instances of gender inequality in the country and that it is high time that the Philippines embrace equality for all gender.
"We are after the recognition of the state and their rights and privileges as couples because right now we are not recognized by the state. We just want the same rights and privileges being enjoyed by heterosexual people. For example when we rush our partners to the emergency room, we cannot sign the waivers, because we are recognized," Benedito said.
"Even 'yung mga napundar namin nung aming mga matagal na partner, kapag nawala 'yung aming partner, hindi ito mapupunta sa amin, sa pamilya. Kahit di tanggap ng pamilya, automatic 'yun pupunta sa kanila. We have one case, a couple for 30 years, hindi tanggap ng pamilya, pero at the end of the day hindi napunta (sa partner)--kundi napunta sa pamilya na hindi tumanggap sa kanya," Benedito added.

Neo-Nazis that chase homosexuals. And Russia´s president Vladimir Putin adds fuel to the flames. He signs the bill that treats homosexuality the same as pedophilia. How is life under fear of death? The video diary "My life under Putin - Homosexuals in Russia" shows how enemy stereotypes are being created in Putins Russia, how rights of minorities like LGBTs (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) are cut back by law and their life is put in danger.
June 2013: Russian presidentWladimir Putin signs the, so-called, “Anti-Gay” law, which equates homosexuality with pedophilia. Lesbians or gays who confess to their homosexuality or exchange caresses in public take the risk of facing fines or even imprisonment. Meanwhile, an increasing number of Neo-Nazis are hunting down gays. In many Russian cities, the “Occupy Pedophilia”-group forms under the leadership of Neo-Nazi Maxim Martsinkevich, who is now imprisoned. Under the guise of child protection they abuse gays and make a public spectacle of it by uploading the videos on the internet. However, hostilities towards homosexuals take place almost anywhere and at any time in Russia. Thus, during medical examination Ilmira Shyakhraznova, a lesbian, was asked if she knows that homosexuality was incompatible with religion.
Where does the broad rejection of homosexuality come from? Yury Gavrikov, organizer of Gay-Prides in St. Petersburg and Moscow, which have been banned by now, explains why Russian politicians keep on presenting gays as an enemy: “You need an opponent to distract people from domestic political problems.” Viacheslav Revin, who first left his hometown and finally Russia after receiving death threats and Artem Gorbunov fled to the USA to seek political asylum there. They tell us how they had to hide for several years and how they feel like being treated equally first the first time in their lives. The video diary “My Life under Putin” demonstrates impressively how Putin’s Russia establishes images of the enemy, weakens rights of minorities by law and even threatens their lives.

"How is it that the Jesus movement has transformed into the sex police?" At the United Methodist Church's global convention in Tampa, Florida, delegates from around the world gather for a heated and emotional debate on the future of their church and its official policy towards homosexuality. "I think we will hear a resounding shoutback saying we can't do that," says Amory Peck, who is just one of more than 1500 United Methodist pastors who have pledged to perform same-sex weddings. Conservative Methodists remain vehemently opposed, fearing that such changes fundamentally undermine the Christian doctrine. "If the church encourages this, it would be the death of the church itself", says Marie-Louise Kpokpo, a conservative delegate from the Ivory Coast.

Some remain unconvinced. "Chinese tradition is to pass on our genes to the next generation", says one father struggling to come to terms with the fact that his daughter is now living as a man. In China same sex couples are often treated as second class citizens, who can't get insurance, pensions or own a home.

HOW WE GOT GAY tells the incredible story of how gay men and women went from being the ultimate outsiders to occupying the halls of power, with a profound influence on our cultural, political and social lives.
After the battles over civil rights for African Americans, and equal rights for women, the battle over gay rights is the first great fight for freedom in the 21st century. It is succeeding beyond anyone’s wildest imagination, with the speed and breadth of the victory stunning its detractors and supporters alike.
It is remarkable that the battle for gay rights in the Western world is advancing the battle over gay rights is the first great fight for freedom in the 21st century. It is succeeding beyond anyone’s wildest imagination,in a fraction of the time that it took the women’s movement and the civil rights movement to achieve similar goals. However, at the heart of the revolution is a tragedy. What drove the gay community to finally demand power was a disease that was decimating its ranks: AIDS.
HOW WE GOT GAY tells the powerful story of the struggle for gay rights, from the 40’s and 50’s to the present day. It takes us inside the secret lives gay people were forced to live, at a time when homosexuality was illegal in every province in Canada and every state in America and police harassment was a fact of life.
Using a rich mix of never before seen archival images and footage and candid interviews with activists and personalities including author Edmund White, and Village Voice columnist Michael Musto, the documentary explores what life was like for gay people at a time when homosexuality was seen as a mental illness, and to be openly gay was to live in utter exile from society.
With the social and sexual revolution of the 1960s, gays enjoyed a new found freedom. They also started to fight back. In 1969, the ‘GayRevolution’ was unleashed with the Stonewall Riots, as an angry mob of gay people rose up against a routine police raid on a Greenwich Village bar.
The film tells the devastating story of AIDS and its dramatic effect on the gay rights movement. What started as a barely noticed outbreak of a rare form of cancer in a small number of homosexual men in 1981 spread to become one of the deadliest pandemics in modern history. When AIDS is treated with indifference and hostility by society, the lack of response gives rise to a new kind of anger and a new kind of gay rights organization: the activist group ACT-UP.
Through an extensive interview with AIDS activist Peter Staley, HOW WE GOT GAY shows how the movement for gay equality becomes consumed with the AIDS crisis, and how the gay community finally got the world’s attention. In the crucible of AIDS, the modern gay rights movement is born.
By the year 2000, almost 500,000 people in North America have died of AIDS, but gay activists have also pushed for a drug regimen that has transformed AIDS from a death sentence to a chronic disease. Through the work of groups like ACT-UP, AIDS finally forces the issue of homosexual equality, and it leads directly to the increasing embrace and acceptance of gay people into heterosexual society.
HOW WE GOT GAY takes us into the gay rights movement of the 21st century. Now the movement has evolved into a powerful network of disciplined, top-down, media-savvy, Ivy League-staffed organizations that know how to operate the levers of power.
These new gay organizations co-opt conventional political weapons: self-selected candidates, political action committees, black-tie fund-raisers, research institutes and lobbyists. In the words of Fred Sainz, director of Communications at the Human Rights Campaign, “we sell gay rights the way Kellogg’s sells cereal”.
The new generation of gay and lesbian activists is now demanding full equal rights under the law. It is no longer just a fight to be allowed to exist and be left alone. They want marriage and family recognition, equal tax laws, employment protection, and hundreds of other rights denied to homosexuals.
And they are winning.
Today gay people in the Western world live in an era of unimaginable freedom compared to earlier times. With support for gay marriage at an all time high, with antigay laws increasingly going down to defeat in the courts, and with young gay men and women able to come out earlier than ever, it is in many ways a Golden Age of gay liberation.

By the year 2000, almost 500,000 people in North America have died of AIDS, but gay activists have also pushed for a drug regimen that has transformed AIDS from a death sentence to a chronic disease. Through the work of groups like ACT-UP, AIDS finally forces the issue of homosexual equality, and it leads directly to the increasing embrace and acceptance of gay people into heterosexual society.
HOW WE GOT GAY takes us into the gay rights movement of the 21st century. Now the movement has evolved into a powerful network of disciplined, top-down, media-savvy, Ivy League-staffed organizations that know how to operate the levers of power.
These new gay organizations co-opt conventional political weapons: self-selected candidates, political action committees, black-tie fund-raisers, research institutes and lobbyists. In the words of Fred Sainz, director of Communications at the Human Rights Campaign, “we sell gay rights the way Kellogg’s sells cereal”.
The new generation of gay and lesbian activists is now demanding full equal rights under the law. It is no longer just a fight to be allowed to exist and be left alone. They want marriage and family recognition, equal tax laws, employment protection, and hundreds of other rights denied to homosexuals.
And they are winning.
Today gay people in the Western world live in an era of unimaginable freedom compared to earlier times. With support for gay marriage at an all time high, with antigay laws increasingly going down to defeat in the courts, and with young gay men and women able to come out earlier than ever, it is in many ways a Golden Age of gay liberation.

Why do so few of China's LGBT people come out? | The Economist

Being gay in China is still a massive taboo. In fact, only 3% of gay men and 6% of gay women describe themselves as "completely out", and an estimated 70% of gay Chinese have entered into heterosexual marriages.
Click here to subscribe to The Economist on YouTube: http://econ.trib.al/rWl91R7
Why do so few lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people in China come out? Official policy regarding LGBT rights is softening in China. Homosexuality has been legal in mainland China since 1997. It was dropped from a list of mental disorders in 2001, and in 2013 censors permitted websites and newspapers to discuss LGBT issues.
Legal rights may be changing but governmental fears and prejudices linger on. Whilst gay pride festivals are permitted, participants are not allowed to parade or march. China's government fear the LGBT community's ability to organise itself and mobilize people for a cause across several cities at once. Social prejudices also still remain; half of those who come out to relatives are rejected by them.
Pressure to marry in China is high. An estimated 70% of gay Chinese have entered into a heterosexual marriage. But attitudes just across the Taiwan Straight are very different. Although neighbouring Taiwan is culturally Chinese it is more tolerant of homosexuality. In May 2017, Taiwan's supreme court made it the first Asian country to allow gay marriage.
No change in Chinese government policy is expected soon but gay people in China hope Taiwan's decision could undermine homophobia that lingers in Chinese society.

Former transgender woman: I am against gay marriage, but pro-LGBT rights

Born as a boy, Pastor Gavino 'Vins' Santiago had sexual reassignment to be transgender woman here in the 80's. He even got married to a British national and thought he was living the life he's always dreamed of.
But his relationship with his partner was far from perfect. He said 'meeting' God influenced him to accept her natural gender.
Now, he is a pastor of Bagong Ilog Christian Fellowship and has to chosen to live life as a man.
Though a strong supporter of LGBT rights, he believes marriage should only be for a boy and a girl since same-sex marriage is not in the Bible.
On the other hand, some are saying it’s about time that same-sex union is recognized here in the Philippines.
One of them is Bemz Benedito, the current spokesperson of Ang Ladlad, a group pushing for LGBT rights in the country. Benedito says she has experienced several instances of gender inequality in the country and that it is high time that the Philippines embrace equality for all gender.
"We are after the recognition of the state and their rights and privileges as couples because right now we are not recognized by the state. We just want the same rights and privileges being enjoyed by heterosexual people. For example when we rush our partners to the emergency room, we cannot sign the waivers, because we are recognized," Benedito said.
"Even 'yung mga napundar namin nung aming mga matagal na partner, kapag nawala 'yung aming partner, hindi ito mapupunta sa amin, sa pamilya. Kahit di tanggap ng pamilya, automatic 'yun pupunta sa kanila. We have one case, a couple for 30 years, hindi tanggap ng pamilya, pero at the end of the day hindi napunta (sa partner)--kundi napunta sa pamilya na hindi tumanggap sa kanya," Benedito added.

Description:
Now that the Supreme Court has legalized same-sex marriage, the LGBT community and their supporters are celebrating the huge step forward the United States has taken. It has been a long time coming, and those in the LGBT community now have the right to walk down the aisle with the one they love. The ruling was celebrated nationwide, and many celebrities spoke out and gave their support to those in the LGBT community. Miley Cyrus was one of these very vocal supporters. She even has an equal sign tattooed on her ring finger in support of same-sex marriage.
But despite the many celebs who celebrated the ruling, there are a few who won’t be waving around a LGBT flag any time soon. Many of these celebrities’ opinions on gay rights stem from their deep religious viewpoints, while others come across as just being homophobic.
ActorKirk Cameron is one Hollywood celeb who basis his opinion on gay rights on the teachings of the bible. The born-again Christian has gone on the record to condemn gays, and he even thinks homosexuality is detrimental and destructive to civilization as we know it. Despite receiving backlash from LGBT advocate groups, Kirk stands by his opinion, and we doubt he will be changing his mind anytime soon.
Filipino boxer Manny Pacquiao is another devout Christian who stands behind his religion and his thoughts on homosexuality. Manny didn’t care about being PC when he said homosexuals were “worse than animals.” Even after receiving backlash for his statements, Manny stood firm on his opinion. He apologized for his comments, but he still feels that homosexuality and same-sex marriage is something that is “against the law of God.”
Other celebrities can’t hide behind their religion when it comes to their disapproval of gays. SingerChris Brown, for example, seems to have a negative opinion on homosexuals that is deeply rooted in homophobia. The singer has used gay slurs on social media more times than we can count, and he was also accused of telling a male fan “I’’m not into this gay s—t,” before punching him in the face.
Despite this list of celebrities who don’t support gay rights, there are millions of other people in the world who are all for equal rights of everyone regardless of their sexual preference.

Should same-sex couples be permitted to marry? Are civil unions or domestic partnerships sufficient? What kind of effect does same-sex marriage have on heterosexual marriage? Do the children of same-sex couples face undue challenges because of their parents? These questions have all been raised in the ongoing debate about gay marriage. Prof. Dale Carpenter makes a compelling argument in favor of same-sex marriage from a philosophical, rights-based perspective while presenting data to answer these questions and others.

My life under Putin - Homosexuals in Russia (full documentary)

Neo-Nazis that chase homosexuals. And Russia´s president Vladimir Putin adds fuel to the flames. He signs the bill that treats homosexuality the same as pedophilia. How is life under fear of death? The video diary "My life under Putin - Homosexuals in Russia" shows how enemy stereotypes are being created in Putins Russia, how rights of minorities like LGBTs (Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender) are cut back by law and their life is put in danger.
June 2013: Russian presidentWladimir Putin signs the, so-called, “Anti-Gay” law, which equates homosexuality with pedophilia. Lesbians or gays who confess to their homosexuality or exchange caresses in public take the risk of facing fines or even imprisonment. Meanwhile, an increasing number of Neo-Nazis are hunting down gays. In many Russian cities, the “Occupy Pedophilia”-group forms under the leadership of Neo-Nazi Maxim Martsinkevich, who is now imprisoned. Under the guise of child protection they abuse gays and make a public spectacle of it by uploading the videos on the internet. However, hostilities towards homosexuals take place almost anywhere and at any time in Russia. Thus, during medical examination Ilmira Shyakhraznova, a lesbian, was asked if she knows that homosexuality was incompatible with religion.
Where does the broad rejection of homosexuality come from? Yury Gavrikov, organizer of Gay-Prides in St. Petersburg and Moscow, which have been banned by now, explains why Russian politicians keep on presenting gays as an enemy: “You need an opponent to distract people from domestic political problems.” Viacheslav Revin, who first left his hometown and finally Russia after receiving death threats and Artem Gorbunov fled to the USA to seek political asylum there. They tell us how they had to hide for several years and how they feel like being treated equally first the first time in their lives. The video diary “My Life under Putin” demonstrates impressively how Putin’s Russia establishes images of the enemy, weakens rights of minorities by law and even threatens their lives.

"How is it that the Jesus movement has transformed into the sex police?" At the United Methodist Church's global convention in Tampa, Florida, delegates from around the world gather for a heated and emotional debate on the future of their church and its official policy towards homosexuality. "I think we will hear a resounding shoutback saying we can't do that," says Amory Peck, who is just one of more than 1500 United Methodist pastors who have pledged to perform same-sex weddings. Conservative Methodists remain vehemently opposed, fearing that such changes fundamentally undermine the Christian doctrine. "If the church encourages this, it would be the death of the church itself", says Marie-Louise Kpokpo, a conservative delegate from the Ivory Coast.
